Stand-To

dance210:   1. Players have wanted a daily tournament; we finally got the ok to start a tourney similar to our old daily blitz. 2. It's a casual, competitive tournament. It's only a couple of hours a night max (teams should range from ~8 to a max of 10 per group) with a small reward. 3. Because it's less time-intensive than a skirmish, it's perfect for those who can't commit to several nights a week or are just starting out in the tournament scene. 4. Players have been asking for a time more convenient for East coast guys. We can use this to get feedback about the start time, plus it won't interfere with the skirmishes (another big thing piece of player feedback).   I don't know about you, but those seem like good reasons to start up a new tournament.   If we're afraid to move forward with our plans, then nothing would get done. Of course with the issues in the past, we'll monitor all our tournaments to make sure everything goes smoothly...or at least as smooth as possible.
